The upcoming November issue of Game Trade Magazine will include an unpainted plane from the Air Pack. Days of Wonder and Game Trade Magazine are sponsoring a plane painting contest where you have a chance to show off your model painting skills. Check out the Air Pack Airplane Painting Contest blog entry for more details...

I've checked every game store and book/magazine seller in my area, and no one sells this darned magazine! I went on the GTM web site, and I can't see how you can order a single mag; and paying near $60 for a subscription to a mag I've never seen isn't too appealing.

I found an online site that will sell individual issues of Game Trade Magazine to you. It's www.paizo.com.

The cost per issue is $1.99 and shipping is about $4 - $5. I ordered 7 copies and the shipping cost was only a few cents more. So as long as you are willing to pay the shipping, you can get it. By the way, it is Game Trade Magazine issue #93 that is the November issue. Here is a direct link:

MajorOracle:
Did Paizo say if they shipped out of the US - say to us Europeans ?

When you checkout it lets you choose from a list of dozens of countries. Of course, I don't know what the shipping cost is to your country. But as my momma always said, "It can't hurt to try, all they can say is 'No'."

I got my copies of Game Trade today from Paizo, but I got several duplicates. Of the five copies I got 1 Me-109, 1 Corsair and 3 P40s (which I had already gotten from my FLGS). So if anyone has a different assortment and would be willing to trade for a P40, please let me know. Thanks.

eldurand,

I think it is a great idea to have people trading their duplicates. Perhaps this forum thread could be used to facilitate that.

On another note, when did you make your order from Paizo? I made mine on October 29th, which then shipped on November 2nd, but it hasn't arrived at my house yet.

Don't remember the date of my order, but I got the email from Paizo saying they had shipped my magazines on Nov. 19.

Also, they were packed so tightly that the plane's tails were a tad deformed from the pressure. But, drop them in VERY hot water for 30 seconds followed by an ice bath, and they returned to their normal shape perfectly well!

Through a trade (Thanks Major Oracle!) I got a Zero, and I was able to find another issue of GTM 93 at my FLGS and nabbed a Spitfire. That leaves me looking for the Storch, the P-38 and the Yak. If anyone has extras of any of those and needs a P-40, let me know. I am willing to trade.

(Though I may have to resort to ordering a few more copies of GTM 93 from Paizo!)

Reading some of the replies, some folks scammed lots of issues of the magazine for the free models, so it's not so surprising there are fewer entries than might have been expected.

I'd love to get my hands on an unpainted Fiesler Storch so I can paint it up as a US Army L-5 Observation aircraft.

Kinda late now!

Nothing in the contest rules declaring only the unpainted planes can be entered. IF you have the Air Pack, you have a bunch of planes at your disposal. You can repaint any of those or even 'enhance' them with a cam pattern of your choosing.

I'm with Brummbar, where are all the entries? The Gallary page suggest that there are 32 entries, but there are only pics forr 15 planes. I tried to upload earlier today (a 256K, 128K and 54K JPEG files). I got the OK message after each upload, but none of the pics have materialized on the Gallery page. I hope I did not do something wrong.

Your images did not upload properly. Since you clearly had them ready by the deadline, we'll still allow your entries, especially since we've had some incompatibility problems with certain browsers/machines uploading. Send me your entries via email and I'll upload them. They'll be under my name, but at least you'll be able to see them and they will be entered in the contest.

As you are aware the entry deadline for the Air Pack Painting contest has past. Because BaarltheBear had some compatibility issues with our upload software, I uploaded his entry under my name - it's entry number 34.

Thanks to everyone who participated - we've got some great entries. The judges will now get together to pick the winners. The Grand prize winner and the two runners-up will be announced on January 15th, here on the forum as well as the DOW News Blog.

Actually several entries have timestamps indicating they were uploaded past the midnight deadline. I wonder how that's going to play out?

This was my first time painting a mini, any mini, EVAR! It was fun -- I think I'm hooked!

I hear ya! First two miniatures I've ever painted too! I can see what Brummy is saying, this can be addictive!!!!

I'm not sure I'm brave enough to start painting M44 tanks and infantry yet, but I have some Caesar minis waiting for paint...going to finally have real French Resistance fighters rather than Allied soldiers "pretending" to be French Maquis!

Congrats on getting involved in painting. It is a very rewarding part of the hobby. I just got back into it last year after about a 25 year lay off. I'm still working on getting the base set of BattleLore figures painted. I doubt I will tackle the M44 figures.
